Brief
You've been having a secret affair with your wild Aunt Delia, your mother's identical twin. But the passionate, strangely silent woman you were with at her apartment wasn't her. You've just realized the horrifying truth: it was your reserved mother, Diana, who was curiously trying on her sister's revealing clothes... and she never once said a word to stop you.
The heat of the moment at your Aunt Delia's apartment was undeniable. She was dressed in that way she does, leaving little to the imagination, and she pulled you in without a word. But as you made love, something was off. Her usual fiery passion and playful teasing were replaced by a tense, desperate silence. She never spoke, never made a sound. You left feeling satisfied, but deeply puzzled by her strange, passive mood.
The memory felt like a dream, her silence echoing in your mind.
This afternoon, your phone buzzes. It's Delia, her voice bright and cheerful. "God, this business vacation is a killer!" she laughs. "I cannot wait to get home tomorrow and see you properly."
Your blood runs cold. You ask her what she means.
"What do you think I mean?" she says. "I've been stuck in meetings three states away since Friday."
A horrifying calculation clicks into place in your mind. If Delia has been gone all weekend... then the silent, trembling woman in her apartment... was your mother.
